December 4, 2013 By admin

Does your kid dance around singing Ylvis’s What does the fox say? all the time or does it just seem that way? Did you know that the now famous comedy duo hails from Norway like Anna and Elsa? In case you can’t get that song out of your head, here are some cute and foxy gift ideas you may want to check out just in time for the holidays…

The book is coming out next week!  No lie, the What Does the Fox Say? book, is available for pre-order.

Stella and Dot’s new …

November 12, 2013 By admin

Every little girl I know adores dress up.  The more ruffles, jewels and tiaras the better, according to my daughter who is four going on 14.  Since so much of the plastic princess jewelry breaks in about three minutes, we’ve gone through a lot of heartache over broken baubles. I was super excited when I attended the Fashion Forward Conference and learned that Stella and Dot, a real jewelry company known for their quality and fun styles, had introduced a girl’s collection.

Globetrotting Mommy - Stella & Dot

Globetrotting Mommy – Stella & Dot

The styles are perfect for little and big girls with an adorable and chic mix of butterflies, flowers, pearls, rhinestones, chunky beads and fun charms.  I love that they are casual enough for the playground and classroom yet dressy (or fancy as my kid says) at the same time.  Globetrotting girls will especially love the Paris with Love Necklace and matching Paris Trio Earrings.

Here are some of my Stella and Dot favorites for girls:

Note:  I was not compensated for this post but I did receive the Paris Trio Earrings in the Fashion Forward Conference goody bag.  As always, all opinions are mine.

Checking out Disney’s …

October 30, 2013 By admin

On a recent trip to the Disney store (proceed with caution!) I spotted the cutest collection of internationally dressed dolls.  If you’re drawn to vibrant colors and lots of cuteness, you’re going to love Disney’s “It’s a Small World Collection,” seven new dolls inspired by the original Fantasyland attraction and one of the best-known Disney tunes.  I can remember “It’s a Small World” being one of my favorite Walt Disney World rides when I was young and that song brings those memories right back.

Globetrotting Mommy - It's a Small World Collection

Globetrotting Mommy – It’s a Small World Collection

The 16″ dolls feature traditional folk costumes, shoes and hairstyles and they are just adorable.  Each of the seven dolls (Hawaii, Holland, Kenya, Japan, France, India and England) sings in her native language and English.  Best of all, the recordings are made by children from around the world for authenticity.  I love how kids can learn about other cultures, fashions, languages and traditions through play and these dolls are great starters for all sorts of inspiring conversations.

Globetrotting Mommy - Disney Small World Dolls

Globetrotting Mommy – Disney Small World Dolls

Not into dolls? The youngest globetrotting boys and girls will enjoy the “It’s a Small World” Storybook and CD set.

Globetrotting Mommy - It's a Small World Storybook and CD Set

Globetrotting Mommy – It’s a Small World Storybook and CD Set

These would be great birthday, holiday or baby shower gifts.  I also love the idea of using the dolls as part of your nursery or playroom decor.

Spring fashions for …

October 22, 2013 By admin

You’ve heard of New York’s famed Fashion Week but did you know that there is a separate Fashion Week just for kids styles? Well, there is and I was lucky enough to check out some of the latest spring fashions hot off the runway at petitePARADE’s Kids Fashion Week.

It was my daughter’s first fashion show and it was super exciting. How cute does she look in her front row chair?

Globetrotting Mommy - petitePARADE

We checked out the Stride Rite Children’s Group’s show which paired shoes from Stride Rite, Sperry Top-Sider kids, Keds kids, Merrell Kids and Saucony kids with the hottest spring fashions from Nordstrom and other children’s fashion brands.

The kid-friendly looks were full of vibrant colors (think florals, neons and 50 shades of blues), metallics (strappy sandals with bright flowers, yes, please!) and comfy styles. I also loved the fun bathing suits from Sweet Lola and Floatimini and the oh so chic girls raincoats from Oil & Water which were separate collections and did not feature Stride Rite footwear. Whether you’re dreaming of a beach getaway or Paris in the springtime, here are some of my fave spring looks for globetrotting kids:

Great gift ideas for Halloween …

October 15, 2013 By admin

Here in the United States, Halloween is one of the biggest holidays around but did you know that a number of countries around the world also welcome the winter season with parties, costumes and sweet treats?

In Mexico, they celebrate El Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) with festivities and parades.  In Spain, they eat “Bones of the Holy” pastries.  In Holland, they celebrate Saint Martin’s Day by singing songs and eating sweets or tangerines.

If you’re looking for some non-candy Halloween gifts for kids, here are some of my favorite ideas:

How cute are these Trumpette Ghost Socks?
